Image stitching with color harmonization of de-processed images for surround view systems and applications

Abstract

In various examples, color harmonization is applied to images of an environment in a reference light space. For example, different cameras on an ego-object may use independent capturing algorithms to generate processed images of the environment representing a common time slice using different capture configuration parameters. The processed images may be transformed into deprocessed images by inverting one or more stages of image processing to transform the processed images into a reference light space of linear light, and color harmonization may be applied to the deprocessed images in the reference light space. After applying color harmonization, corresponding image processing may be reapplied to the harmonized images using corresponding capture configuration parameters, the resulting processed harmonized images may be stitched into a stitched image, and a visualization of the stitched image may be presented (e.g., on a monitor visible to an occupant or operator of the ego-object).
